I'll be straight. I took it to learn.
To learn how Sales works in a different sphere. different from the electricity business.
Before the opportunity to work as a Product Analyst with MainOne came, I had told Kiitan I wanted to learn about Sales. I had even applied for a Business Analyst role 3 or 4 months before to get close to it.
I wouldn't want to remove the part of the role paying more. It does (in figure! Lagos life changes the value when compared to Akure). But the greater opportunity is in the learning.

I have always had a passion for power. That's what drove me to work with the power sector. I didn't take it because my dad worked there. He didn't even have a part to play in my getting the job with BEDC, maybe we can say his' paying for my Power training course with NAPTIN which took about a Million Naira or over, was a part of it. But the power business was too direct. Monopolistic! I learnt a few things in the business but the lessons I got was limiting in my perspective. if I was to run an electricity business afterwards, I'll be good with it.

Having stayed 3 Months at MainOne, I have seen Marketing (including research) in a new light. Seen Sales as it can be in a business. Learnt pricing and product development. Seen flaws I had while trying to run NairaBooks. There were so many things I didn't know. I should have asked questions. I should have taken courses or so but then that's in the past. I'm glad I know now. I wouldn't have learnt this all at Benin Disco.
